Here is the short version.......What is the story of the loader? Nice load!
Shop built from plans about 10 years ago to finish some landscaping around a house.
20. Hp Honda vee twin engine, 18 gpm hydraulic pump, 2 flow dividers, 4 wheel motors, modified articulation steering joystick loader control, orbital steering, skid steer tires on Chev pickup rims, lots of cutting, welding, machining, and assembly ......

Zat cadplans? Always thinking of trying that. Don't here much about others making, so wonder if flaws? I would want cage on mine.
The loader is indeed the Cadplans design. The original plans called for stick steering, which I do not like, so I modified it to use an orbital steering valve and steering wheel. The original design for the centre pivot has been found to be weak, so I designed one of my own. I tried to be as accurate as I could with the cylinder placements, but I have 6" of dig depth and only 4'6" of dump height. I built mine 10 years ago. I am quite happy with what it can do with only 20 HP.

All my assistants and I are hot and tired as it was a hot sunny August day. Tomorrow might be a challenge because after a hot day in the sun, we have 3 hours to clear the venue before a 2 hour trip home..

Sure is interesting looking place there. Lots of ART works and odd shapes all around. What is the place, an Art Museum? Sounds like a show my local Public Radio or TV would put on to promote Art forms.
